 | One small quibble with the new beta - the "New page" button, which
appears by default on the page bar, doesn't seem to go away when you
right-click on it and remove it from the toolbar - or rather it goes
away but comes back on the next reload of Opera.
Had to edit standard_toolbar.ini, removing the lines
[Pagebar Head.content]
Button, 21193=New page,1
to get rid of it.
Does anyone else get this or is it just me doing something silly (or
maybe to do with the way I installed)? Is there a better way to kill
it permanently?
Build 913, version 8.0-20050104.4-shared-qt, running from the
directory into which the .bz2 archive was unpacked using the 'opera'
script.

Works fine here. Do other toolbar customizatios stick?

No, I tried adding buttons to the status bar and they went away on
reload.
This was when I was running using the 'opera' script supplied in the
..bz2 archive - the one that says "Use this if you don't want to
install Opera to any special location, but execute it from the
extracted package or current location."
If, instead, I install opera "properly" using the 'install.sh' script
and then run the resulting installation, the customisations stick OK.
Not a serious problem, as people will presumably do a proper install
when it's intended for operational use - but it does rather limit the
usefulness of the 'opera' script for testing purposes.

Do any other settings "take"? Sounds to me like Opera couldn't create a
personal directory for you.

Yes, all the non-toolbar settings took and some of the toolbar ones,
too - I only had trouble with removing the "New page" button and
adding buttons to the Status bar.

The personal directory (called "usersettings") was created.
However, the problem seems to have gone away now. I've tried several
times to recreate it by repeating the unpacking and customisations
exactly as before, so far as I can remember, but haven't succeeded.
I'm quite sure it *did* happen, and can't see any obvious way in
which it might have been "user error" - but I suppose that, without
a method of reproducing, there's no point in taking it further. One
of these awkward "now you see it, now you don't" problems.

Maybe it was a session issue then. When you save a session, Opera
remembers the complete state of the UI - including panels and toolbar
buttons. If you use saved sessions and customize the toolbars, then your
customizations will disappear if you start with a session that was saved
before the change.

Don't think so - I don't use sessions at all. Thanks anyway.
I was wondering if the "Lock toolbars" setting in opera6.ini might
somehow have got set to a non-zero value - ISTR there used to be a UI
for that but I can't see it now. (But perhaps that would have made it
impossible to change the toolbars at all, rather than causing the
changes not to stick.) However, if that was the problem, it would
also be necessary to explain how it's got reset to zero again. Wish
I'd made a copy of opera6.ini at the point where toolbar changes were
failing to stick.
